To replace your existing Rota-Flex 5th wheel pin box with the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP85FR, you'll need to confirm its model number and weight rating. This information is typically displayed on a sticker or plate on the pin box itself.
Lippert makes three models of the Rota-Flex, so the weight rating on the label is enough to identify which of these three you have:
-Model 1621/1621HD Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box 18,000 lbs # LC328330
-Model 1116 Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box 19,000 lbs # LC176440
-Model 1621 Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box 21,000 lbs # LC328329
The Reese Goose Box # RP85FR is designed to replace a Lippert 1621 pin box and is rated for 20,000 lbs, so it's a suitable replacement only if you have the # LC328330 Rota-Flex (18K).
There isn't a Goose Box designed to replace an 1116 pin box and if your Grand Design currently has the # LC328329 21K, it is not recommended to replace your pin box with a lower rated one, like the # RP85FR, which is the highest rated Goose Box available.
